New World Rolleston

Tidy store, friendly staff, good range of products and well maintained store. Pricing is high and in general in New Zealand. New Zealand products are also priced higher. I wonder what they do with the expired products and food wastage. Pricing could be lower on many products and there is a huge difference from the prices in North Island. The staff here is amazing!

Ethan Dunsmore might be the best staff in the world. He always makes my day better and knows his way around the store.

I think the reviews noting limited stock are more legit, this store regularly keep withdrawing quality or premium lines, recently they withdrew Henderson Proper Bacon (the only good low additive bacon they had) more recently they withdrew Lewis Road Double Cream, that's just two recent products they dropped that we noticed, i wonder how many more they withdrew. The staff seem to generally have a low level of customer service and the checkout conveyors are commonly dirty with flour etc. They are making the choice between remaining with new world or going to Pak n Sav easier with every product the stop carrying and each sub par service experience.

Here on 4th June while staying in Rolleston for a couple of weeks working. I'm not sure if it just a supermarket size issue but I found it had a pretty limited variety of the things I needed. Wouldn't bother going back there for any grocery needs unless I really had to. Staff were ok. Nothing extraordinary. 3 stars from me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Friendly staff. Bakery range could improve. In house bakery lacks the pecan slabs available in New world Peer street or the fresh hot speciality breads daily at New World Fendalton. Also could improve with the range of grocery and vegetables, catering to locals who are predominantly immigrants. Should hire staff with diverse ethnicities, who hv the knowledge and local connections
